At PNGBLOGS we are happy to have people write to us to have their voices heard, We got a threatening e-mail from a JOSEPH KILA yesterday, this is what he/she wrote:  I write to you on behalf of some of the persons and corporations that are mentioned in the  P NG Blogs  Blog post:  “Massive Corruption in Western Province. Will The PM Intervene?”. The false allegations made against these persons are of a very serious nature and they have advised me to find the author of the post as well as the identities of the persons operating  PNG Blogs. In Papua New Guinea, there are Government agencies and well developed civil and criminal courts of Law equipped to process complaints against Public Offices, National leaders, bureaucrats, private individuals and corporate persons.   The persons and corporations adversely affected and defamed by the publication are prepared to draw from similar measures and investigations carried out by NASFUND in 2011; in fact, persons involved in the NASFUND invest

By UNITECH STAFF I will report some latest going on at Unitech. As most know Prof. Pumwa has been acting VC of Unitech in the absence of Prof. Albet Schram. As such he should be following orders of the Unitech council including council decision to endorse and bring back Prof.Schram. Unitech council strongly endorsed Prof. Schrams return to Unitech so Prof.Pumwa should be promoting Prof.Schrams return at every opportunity. Even if the PM himself tells Prof.Pumwa he does not want Prof.Schram back, Prof. Pumwas job is to remind the PM of Unitech council endorsement of Schram. He also should tell the PM the truth, that large majority of staff and students strongly support Prof.Schram and that it is in Unitech's best interest to bring him back. It is Prof.Pumwas responsibility to do all he can and involve himself personally to straighten out whatever is blocking Prof.Shrams visa. This may be what Prof.Pumwa should be doing but he is not doing it. All new indications are that Prof. Pumwa

By PNGBLOGS A Fundamental Truth About Activism The title of this article is nothing more than the most famous statement ever made by Margaret Mead.   Mead was a well known American anthropologist who carried out research in the Trobriands and on Manus.  She was not an activist by profession, yet she is best remembered for this statement.   It not only explains in a nutshell how change takes place in the world, but inspires thoughtful, committed citizens to stop being passive observers and start taking charge.   Abundant examples of injustice and genocide throughout the world over the centuries should make it clear to us all that God Himself does not bring change to our world.  That is why sitting back and leaving everything in the hands of God has always been a recipe for disaster.  Instead, history teaches us that God gave us freedom to do what we wanted and and intelligent brains to control our destiny.  Sitting back and whinging achieves nothing.  Only persistent activism as practic
